Actually, CO2 is just one of the players. H2O, CH4, N2O and CFCs also contribute to the green house effect. All total, mans contribution is 0.28% of the green house effect.
Once the EPA gets their cards lined up with regulations, fines and taxes we'll be down to 0% and living in caves.
Call it what it is, if you're penalizing one product to make it more expensive so you can promote another its not the free market.
That's my point. You all are demonizing this science because you're scared of the political effects. Propose truly free marke solutions. Politics is, in the end, a marketplace of ideas. There are many solutions to every problem. Stop denying and start using the market to simply ending pollution on the local level. The rest will take care of itself.
Climate change may be real, but it is a natural phenomena, and out of our control. I'm all for clean air... if these global warming alarmists (i.e. Gore) want to continue their 'research" thats ok:- as long as they pay for it!
You're just spouting off political talking points, assuming Al Gore has anything to do with this (perhaps you first heard of this issue from him, so you think he created it), and presenting your belief as fact. The science has already accounted for natural influx. What they're measuring is the human contribution on top of that. That's where it differentiates.
I'm still not understanding how 'global warming' has caused two years in a row of 1000's of record breaking low temps and freeze temps as far south as Dallas, New Orleans, Orlando, Miami. The 'global warmers' are trying to explain the record breaking snow as another fact of global warming. But one fact they neglect to state. To have 'snow' you need temperatures below 32 degrees.
A few bogus rogues does not discredit a massive body of research from many different funding sources, nationalities, and institutions that create a "broad scientific consensus on the man-made causes of global warming".
it does if those different institutions start with bogus numbers supplied by the rogues.
the earths climate has changed since pretty much day one. we look at a CO2 level of 380ppm and panic, bit forget that 65 million years ago we had CO2 levels twice as high. we also forget that 700 million years ago we had 0ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. we also forget that mars, venus, and other planets in the solar system are also warming, but if you listen to the global climate change alarmists, the other planets warming is natural, but somehow earths warming is man caused.
Such as what? I can heat a 2000 sq. foot home and provide domestic hot water for about $800 a year with coal and that's anthracite which is double the cost of soft coal.
If it's free market that means the government is going to stay out of it and let the consumer decide what they are going to use. Nobody is going to opt for something that cost triple, quadruple or whatever the amount is.
The only reason we have solar installations, wind installations and ethanol is because the taxpayer is footing the bill. That is NOT the free market.
With temperatures reaching -4F , the arctic freeze in Northern Mexico has lead to seven deaths in the state of Chihuahua, and many animals .
The zoo at Ciudad Aldama lost five iguanas, two crocodiles, a capuchin monkey, 15 parakeets and 12 serpents to hypothermia the owner of the Serenguetti Zoo, Alberto Hernandez, said.
A crisis has to be created, for the government to herd the population.
